rusty old nail to sow's ear

I was saving this for the deluxe bus, but seems a shame not to use it now.

Bi-annual wash done ready for a few days in Cornwall.
Doesn't look any different really.

Just under 500 miles around Cornwall this week without issue as usual. Well, apart from the speedo exploding. :lol:





Cliff walks, beach walks, canal walks in the mist, meerkats, lifeboats, food and home.

Fantastic pics ... this gallery section is my guilty pleasure throughout these crazy times.
We got back home at 1pm today and no sooner wanted to head straight off into the sunset again [emoji106]

Nice pics.
Assume the speedo exploded due to the crazy speeds you managed

I had just passed a couple of caravans on the A39

Took the bus out for a spin to the workshop today, try to use it at least once a week.

Quick update
Poor old bus has been sitting for a few weeks now due to me having caused some valve train issues.
I've been let down by a couple of people who say it's too low to transport the 8ish miles down to Nick's workshop so I can pop the valve covers and investigate further.
Anyway, here's a pic of it in the snow over Christmas.

The old bus has been left unloved and parked up since November last year due to the engine issue.
Rather than carry on trying to find suitable transport I drove it down to the workshop this morning, what was the worst that could happen?

Once the stubborn exhaust silencer was off and the valve cover removed it was rather obvious what the problem was.







One new elephant foot adjuster required.

 

[sparkywig]

A pair of adjusters arrived today, thanks to Hector.
I didn't really want to buy another set of 8.



Soon be running properly again.

Bus back in it's normal habitat.





All fixed now, new "elephant foot" adjuster.





I don't recall ever posting a pic of the air-cooled fleet in one place before.
